Chapter 255 No horoscope
After hearing Qiao Mai's rephrasing, Nanny Jin couldn't help but regard her as her master.
In a blink of an eye, the rainy season has passed, and the weather in September is not bad. Qiao Mai went out for a walk after reading a book during the day.
Most of the time, I sit in front of my own shop, looking at the people in Tianshui Town, and the businessmen coming and going, and listening to their chats.
She tilted her head, looking at Liu Hai's business, and felt something was wrong.
It just so happened that Liu Hai delivered some food and turned back to the shop, when he saw Qiao Mai waving at him, wiped his hands and ran over.
"Cousin, what's the matter?"
"Who are the people sitting at the door of the school?"
"They, hehe, are all girls who are interested in Fengyun. A fifteen-year-old scholar is too eye-catching, and many people come to see her."
Qiao Mai's face sank, "Didn't you say that if you are less than eighteen, you don't like someone?"
"They just want to get acquainted with Brother Fengyun, what if the two brothers take a fancy to them?"
"It's really crazy. Come here and drive them away. That's a school, not a flowery day."
She called out a few clerks from the shop, and went to chase them away in front of the school.
When the guys rushed to chase Qiao Mai, they realized that something was wrong again. Among the girls who were driven away, she unexpectedly saw a familiar figure.
Why is she here to join in the fun? At this time, Miss Mu also saw her, and smiled awkwardly at her.
Qiao Mai waved at her, Miss Mu walked over obediently, there were two girls behind her, and the driver who was protecting her was not far away.
When he saw Qiao Mai, the driver felt a huge pain in his chest.
"You are a princess, why did you follow them to join in the fun? Why didn't you return to the capital?"
"The capital is boring, but your place is interesting."
"If I don't make friends with you, will you hit my son's idea?"
"Can't I? I'm only one year older than your son, can't I?"
"Are you still the princess?"
"If it's true, I can decide my own marriage. I think your two sons are very good. Am I not worthy to be your friend, or even your daughter-in-law?"
Qiao Mai was speechless. When did the Ming Dynasty become so open?
The princess can put down her airs and pursue a young scholar.
"You, seriously?"
"Yeah, I like this place and your house, so if I want to live in your house for a long time, there is only one way"
"Fine, you can do whatever you want, as long as my son can like you, but you must not tell them your identity, or I will send you back to the capital directly."
"Hee hee, you said it,"
Ms. Mu sat across from her, Qiao Mai ordered her a cup of yogurt, and looked at her with the eyes of a mother-in-law looking at her daughter-in-law.
"Did you move here?"
"Hey, nothing can escape your old man's eyes. I bought a piece of land here, and the house is being built, but I have rented a house."
"I have no objection to you pursuing my son, but they are twins, so you must not provoke their brotherhood."
"I am a good woman."
"It's not like, to say you are scheming is to exalt you, to say you are stupid, you don't seem to be that stupid."
This time, the girl next to Miss Mu didn't dare to snort anymore. After seeing what happened to Qiao Mai, she only had awe in her eyes.
Especially the man who was the coachman and guard, he bowed to Qiao Mai from a distance, which is a tribute from the loser to the winner.
In the evening, it was rare for Qiao Mai to have dinner with the old lady.
"Grandma, do you remember the girl who came to our house last time?"
"Ah, what happened to her?"
"She didn't leave, but stayed in Tianshui Town."
"Why is this girl so willful."
"She agreed to be my daughter-in-law."
The old lady opened her mouth, and it took a long time to recover, "Impossible? Even if she is willing, the Zhen Guogong family is not willing."
The old man was at a loss, so the old lady told him what happened before.
"With a hot head, how can you sit like this and lose face of the Duke of Zhen, yet she is still blocking the situation at the door? How can you look like a princess."
"Yeah, mixed in with that group of girls, luckily I saw it."
"Modern young people really have no way to say it. If I absolutely disagree, it's too absurd. The Zhen Guogong will definitely not be willing."
"I think this girl has a real temperament, as long as she is sincere to my son, it would be nice to have a princess' daughter-in-law, as long as the girl is willing."
"You, just go crazy with her."
After dinner, Qiao Mai went back to his yard and sat in the yard to enjoy the shade. Yuan Jiaqi didn't go home for half a month.
She asked someone to call Brother Fengyun, so there was herbal tea on the table.
As soon as the two of them arrived, Qiao Mai poured water for them.
"Sit down, mother has something to ask you!"
The two sat down opposite to Qiao Mai, "Mother, please tell me"
"Recently, there are often many girls waiting for you two brothers at the gate of the school, right?"
The two brothers blushed, "We have been concentrating on class and ignored them,"
"Well, you two are fifteen years old and sixteen years old, and you are not too young. If you like something, tell your mother, let's arrange it early"
"No, no, no, mother, we are still young, so we won't think about these things."
"real?"
Qiao Mai stared at their faces, and found that the two children really didn't seem to care about those girls, so he said slowly.
"Mother will find someone to replace you as soon as possible. If you want to pass the entrance examination, you will have to pay 12 points of hard work and hard work."
"Yes, mother, we will definitely work hard."
"Well, it's getting late, let's go back and rest."
Qiao Mai sent them away, and then curled her lips, she put her spiritual consciousness on Feng'er, and there was a movement after a while.
"Brother, why don't you tell your mother about you and Miss Mu?"
"There is no sign of horoscope. What do you say, if she has feelings for me, she will wait for me. Anyway, it's not the time to get engaged, it's still early."
"Miss Mu is older than you, you can't let people wait for you all the time"
"Then we have to wait until we have passed the Juren exam before we talk about anything else. You didn't look at her attire, but at first glance she looked like a lady from a wealthy family. I am a poor scholar. What face and qualifications do I have to think about a woman like that?"
Qiao Mai didn't know until now that Miss Mu had already hooked up with her eldest son, she was really quick enough.
Since you are not in a hurry, there is no need for her to be in a hurry, but has the betrothal gift been prepared long ago?
Thinking about the three eldest sons in the family, her brain hurts. She looks enviable, but she also worries. In the future, when three daughters-in-law come in, the betrothal gift alone will be enough for her to drink a pot.
It's okay to marry someone from an ordinary family, but if you marry someone like Miss Mu, a daughter-in-law will have to empty out her family.
It seems that preparations must be made early, she sighed.
In the blink of an eye, it was October, and the autumn was breezy, and Yuan Jiaqi returned home from She County.
"My lady, why don't you come to She County with me for a few days in such a nice weather?"
"The workshop is built?"
"Hey, yes, I was guessed by the lady."
"You are too impatient. If you build it a year in advance, you can only leave it idle."
"You can use it as a warehouse first, and you can cut pine oil next year, right?"
"Well, pine cones can only be picked in the next year."
"Then cut the pine oil first. Our family has invested so much money, so it's time to start recycling."
"Don't worry, I think about so much pine oil in the forest, what should I do."
As soon as he got home to Yuan's house, everything went well, not to mention how comfortable he felt, no wonder the lady didn't go, if he didn't want to leave home.
In order to see the workshop, Qiao Mai followed him to She County.
The workshop is located on a small area of wasteland outside the county seat, and he made use of this wasteland.
The land deeds are all written by Qiao Mai. Although she is a little annoyed, the Yuan family is now an official, and there can be no business under her name, and she can only accept it.
